Welcome Back, Booklovers! The Heart and Soul series is back with it's second installment. Summoning Up Love was everything for me earlier this year and I was so ready to head back to Sunshine Beach. I received an arc from Harlequin in exchange for review.
We continue following the ghost hunting brothers with the story of middle brother, Wesley. He's the glue that keeps the family together and peaceful. With Dion off in Charlotte living a new life with his girlfriend and his younger brother Tyrone jet setting in anticipation of their tv debut, he's holding things down with the family house in Sunshine Beach.
Cierra is trying to build up her real estate career post divorce through her own agency but so far it's been a struggle. She's hoping the sale of the Dewalt Manor will bring her a big enough commission to keep her afloat. But first she needs to do something about the ghosts who continuously stopped any business ventures there.
Cierra reaches out to Wesley at the suggestion of a family friend and he agrees to help her deal with the manor's ghost problem in exchange for helping him prep his family home for sale. But old feelings resurfacing make it hard. Cierra and Wesley had a misunderstanding in high school that they're still not over.
There's so many different moving pieces to this story. In addition to the romance you have Cierra trying to build up her struggling business. And then you have Wesley dealing with his feelings about his brothers moving on with their lives while he feels trapped. Plus Cierra's ex husband is popping in and out causing drama under the guise of his daughter. Plus her momma pushing this idea of a power couple relationship. Then there's the mystery at the Dewalt manor involving the death of a former cook and a wrongful conviction.
As always Synithia William's characters have chemistry but also act like adults which I really appreciated. Love reading a romance where the adults they actually communicate to work through their issues before the end of the book. The bond between the Livingston brothers has me anticipating book 3 because I just know Tyrone is gonna be a little messy.
